The Choco EDI Import process is accessed from the entree Import utility using the “Choco EDI” option. This utility imports a CSV Purchase Order from Choco locations and converts it into an entrée invoice. A confirmation file will be returned for each order file successfully received/processed.
The utility will also have an option to generate and transmit a file containing order guides for the Choco locations, as well as an option to send the full item catalog of all active items.
Imports/Exports can be manually executed as well as automated through the TEA Scheduling utility.
